What is the difference between Web Hosting and Domain Registration?

Web Hosting and Domain Registration are two essential components of setting up a website, but they serve different purposes:

  1. Web Hosting: This is a service that provides the infrastructure and technology needed to store your website’s files, making it accessible on the internet. It includes space on a server where your website’s data (like text, images, and videos) is stored, and it ensures your site is available online 24/7.
  2. Domain Registration: This is the process of purchasing and registering a unique web address (domain name), such as www.yoursite.com. The domain is how users will find your website online. It’s like the address of your website, while hosting is like the house that contains the content of your site.

In simple terms: Domain registration gives you the address for your website, while web hosting provides the space to store your website’s content.
